Choose AQTESOLV to get the most advanced software for slug test analysis including methods for
single- and multi-well tests, overdamped and underdamped conditions,
wells screened across the water table, and more.

AQTESOLV is the most advanced software for slug
test analysis and features the most comprehensive set of solution methods for
overdamped and
underdamped conditions in confined, unconfined and fractured aquifers.

Summary of Slug Test Solutions

AQTESOLV has the most comprehensive set of solutions
for slug test analysis that allow you to analyze rising- and falling-head
tests, baildown tests, multi-well tests, overdamped tests, underdamped tests, fully and partially penetrating wells, wells
screened across the water table, and more.

Underdamped (Oscillatory) Slug Tests

Only AQTESOLV provides underdamped slug test solutions for tests with
inertial effects in both fully and partially penetrating wells.

Analysis of underdamped slug test in small-diameter well with frictional well loss in a high-K aquifer (Butler 2002).

AQTESOLV
features an innovative visual curve matching tool that makes
parameter estimation for underdamped tests a snap (video)
and includes a correction for frictional well loss (Butler 2002) that is important for analyzing
underdamped tests in small-diameter wells.

Multi-Well Slug Tests

AQTESOLV includes slug test data analysis methods
such as the KGS Model (Hyder et al. 1994) that may be used to analyze multi-well slug tests
(interference tests) in confined or unconfined aquifers.

Most slug tests are conducted as single-well tests in which heads (displacements) are measured in just the test (control) well. In a
multi-well slug test, heads are recorded in the test well and one or more nearby observation wells for subsequent analysis.
